Another workaround could be to put a TAB right after the colon and underline everything between the colon and the TAB, like this illustration: Name: ________________________<TAB> Moving the tab stops is a better way to make the right length of the underline than to add spaces, I think. Then place the text box slightly above the line and make sure the text box has NO borders at all, I think that's possible. I also have a quite different solution for the problem, without using any text boxes: Set up a table! Two columns, one with font A and one with font B. Remove all borders except the bottom border of all the cells in the second column… But of course there will be some complications in that case too: The position of the cursor will be fixed.
